The New Aids? Chagas!

"Chagas, a tropical disease spread by insects, is
causing some fresh concern following an editorialó
published earlier this week in a medical journaló
that called it "the new AIDS of the Americas."
More than 8 million people have been infected by
Chagas, most of them in Latin and Central America.
But more than 300,000 live in the United States.
The editorial, published by the Public Library of
Science's Neglected Tropical Diseases, said the
spread of the disease is reminiscent of the early
years of HIV."" - Yahoo News
